I'm stopping in as much as I can (that has been more lately with my holiday time off)!

Topic: RE: hysterectomy after gastric bypass

Congrats to YOU! Isn't it wonderful all of the things we can do now? I'd bet you'd be really great as an EMT, you're such a caring person.

I've gained 8 lbs too. There are folks out there that would say it's because we're 3 years out and it just happens. I had refused to believe it until it happened to me. I never exercised much, mostly because of the problems I had with my foot, but I'm sure that I can do quite a lot more now than I could even a year ago. Gary bought me a Wii for Christmas, so I think I'll get the Fit to go with it with some of the money I got from clients. Maybe it will inspire me???

Please keep in touch and let us know what the surgeon says. I haven't had "those parts" for 25 years and I sure don't miss them a bit! You'll be fine, I'm sure.

Topic: RE: hysterectomy after gastric bypass

That's what I was thinking too Susan...they shouldn't have anything to do with each other. I just want to cover all my bases. I see my surgeon tomorrow and will discuss it with him then. Loading up on protein is a good idea that I hadn't thought of, so thanks for that.

Otherwise, I'm doing well. I took a course over the summer and I am now a licensed EMT working with a local ambulance service...I love it! I've had a slight weight gain, about 8 lbs. but I know why. I stopped exercising when I started having all these pains in my back and abdomen, so hopefully once I'm healed and completely recovered from this surgery I can get back to exercising again and drop those pounds. I'm retaining water really bad also which doesn't help. I haven't been on here in forever, I really need to update my profile...I'll have that chance while I'm laid up over the next few weeks!

Take care everyone!

Topic: RE: Active forum?

You missed the "good ol' days"! I think most folks have gone to facebook and twitter, once they got going things really slowed down here. It's too bad too, there's a lot of good folks with great info and support.

I'd sure like to see things liven up, but all we can do is try.

Topic: RE: hysterectomy after gastric bypass

Hi there, so glad to see you're smiling face, but sorry to hear it looks like you're facing surgery. IMO, one shouldn't have any thing to do with the other, they're no way connected. You might want to protein load before and after, just to help yourself heal quicker, but that's all I can think of.

Hope you're doing welll other wise. It's nice to see you!

Topic: hysterectomy after gastric bypass

Has anyone here had a hysterectomy after their gastric bypass? Just wondering if having the bypass will create more complications with the hysterectomy? Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Topic: RE: Dead.

I am married to a retired nurse and to her if I have this surgery it will kill me. She states that it would break up our marriage of 46 years.

I believe that must go along with the nursing profession. All my doctors are in favor of it and I do not imply that is just the surgeon.

Have faith in God and that he is guiding your surgeon. After that just trust in the Lord.,

Topic: Active forum?

When I first started getting active on OH, I checked out this forum. It was basically dead. I haven't checked in here in awhile now. I was pleasantly surprised that there are some folks posting here now.

I'm going to do my best to post in this forum often. I'd sure like to have an active Arkansas forum. How 'bout you? There's not a lot of active members, but if the forum were more active, there might be more interest.

Topic: RE: Dead.

Oh, Amy, I hear ya! I quit smoking 3 years ago. EVERYTHING that I went to the dr for, including, I kid you not, an INGROWN TOENAIL was because I was a smoker. I got bronchitis about the same time I quit. My dr even told me that that spell would be the last time I had to deal with bronchitis since I was quitting. It's never ending.
